For Girls Who Play the Piano.

A contemporary says the world does not
know. much less does il reward, one-half
of its benefactors. Ii is Ia he hoped that
better return than ingratitude will he
reaped by the Stuttgart inventor-Schauz-
enbach by name-who has devised a con
trivance for deadening the sound of pi-
amos. This contrivance, to which the
simple name of mute" has been given,
consists Of the application of fire flannel
10 the frame which is found between the
strings and hammers of an upright piano.
Herr Schauzenhach claims that by the Use
Of his apparatus, which, il is satisfactory
TO read, is neXpensive-sUund can he
graduated almost TO inauGibility, and yet
the quality Of the tone is not lost. \ trial
of the invention has recently been made
before company of musicians at Stutt-
CART and the result appears TO have been a
success. The piano mute having been in
vented, all that now remains 10 be done is
10 secure for it as wide adoption as pos
sible.-ENchanSe.

Rapid flowing waters seem more living
and healthful than those of sluggish
streams. but there is much illusion in this
appearance. If they get more exposure
10 oxidation. they also get less time for it.
II the slow stream leaves more organic
deposit in its bed, il is because il has more
time and rcpoSe for settling and less force
for carrying the dirt with ii. The bed of
the swift stream is clean at the expense Of
cleanness in the water that SCours it; just
as the washed dish is cleaner than the
dish water. The only valid reason for
preferring the water Of n rapid stream,
quantities being equal, would lie position
more elevated and less exposed To surface
drainage. Engineers calculate that the
carrying power Of water increases as the
sixth power Of the increase Of velocity, so
that a stream flowing six times MS fast as
another will be able to transport 46. $50
times more matter. Consequently. if
pollution be discharged into a lively flow
ing stream, it will have very little chance
of being dropped from the water at all

The most expensive collection Of pearls
on record is that ovSled by the Countess
of Dudley, which is far more valuable
than the celebrated pearls belonging To the
queen. The countess has coronet of
pearls. The top is composed of pear
shaped pearls. There is very large one
in the center, and the Others are graduated
in size down to the smallest. In order 10
get these pear shaped pearls in the
requisite sizes and colors the jewelers.
We're obliged to buy such an enormous
quantity of pearls that when the famous
necklace was completed, with earrings,
bracelets, and brooch and finger ring TO
match, they had $3.50 worth of odd
pearls left.
